So maybe these are nine years old, and one of them probably posted before - I think it's time for another look, as I dare say very few of us have read them before. Daniel Handler and Tom Perrotta - e-mail exchanges between two novelists. Daniel Handler - a week's diary entries. Some adult content. Some political content. ...Wow. The final page of the e-mail exchange, on violence breaking out in the Middle East, is scarily prophetic. Not a Handler quote, but: "I don't know if today's turmoil is the start of something big or just one awful day in a series that will soon peter out, but it does make me wonder how we're going to respond when something does happen--and it will, inevitably--to disturb our long national idyll. Boy, are we gonna be cranky." That was about a year before 9/11.
